About Eve

Eve GunderKline is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on common concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and trauma. Eve aims to create a straightforward, compassionate space where people can talk and make practical changes.

She often helps clients untangle patterns that come from family history and attachment. That can look like noticing how past relationships shape current ones, or naming control and codependency habits that get in the way of connection.

Background and approach

Eve also works with issues around sexuality, intimacy, and recoveries from sexual assault and abuse. When trauma is part of the story she uses focused approaches to reduce distress and rebuild safety in day-to-day life. She supports people managing grief, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions.

Practical coping skills are paired with longer-term work on self-esteem and identity. Eve aims for collaboration in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them set realistic goals.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with space for emotion and problem solving. She practices in Illinois and speaks English. People who want help navigating relationship patterns, attachment issues, or post-traumatic stress often find her approach useful.

The work tends to mix immediate coping strategies with deeper exploration of how past experiences influence present behavior.

Online support

How her approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. In practice this means sessions center the client's goals, with the therapist reflecting feelings, asking questions, and helping people make choices about next steps. This approach is useful for relationship questions, self-esteem work, and life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories. It involves structured sequences that help the brain process distressing events so they feel less overwhelming, which can help with post-traumatic stress and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility to schedule care around work, family, and daily routines.
